Jamaica's national football team, bolstered by a surge in talent from England-born players, aims to improve its standing in Concacaf. Assistant coach Merron Gordon highlights the team's unprecedented competitiveness, thanks to early recruitment of younger players. This new approach mirrors past successes, including the 1998 World Cup qualification, and reflects a strategic shift towards enhancing the squad's talents. With a significant portion of players born in the UK, Jamaica targets strong performances in the Gold Cup and World Cup qualifiers ahead.
"Since I've been around the team, this is the most competitive squad we have ever had. The gap [in talent among the squad] was way too wide a few years ago."
"To get a squad going for this Gold Cup is our priority, and then we can just piggyback on that going into the World Cup qualifiers in September."
